Abstract

This article presents a research study analysing the impact of changing the roundabout island diameter on the roundabout capacity. The study was based on the developed Cellular Automata Model and the implemented simulation system. The developed CA Model takes into account various types of vehicles (cars, trucks and motorcycles) and various sizes of roundabouts; also, it reflects the actual technical conditions of those vehicles (acceleration and braking depending on the vehicle dimensions and function, as well as driving on the roundabout with different speeds that are adequate to the vehicle size). The study was based on the example of a two-lane roundabout with four two-lane feeder roads.
